Dr. Drew Hause, I don't mean to change the subject, but I acquired a hammer SxS shotgun made by William Sumners a few months ago. Would you like to share a pic of the case label? Also, any other information you can share on Mr Sumners and any gun pics, it would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance. BillK
